I’ve appeared at many author events including library talks, author interviews and panel participation. I have interviewed authors Chris Hammer, Jo Dixon, Fleur McDonald, Tim Ayliffe, Michael Trant, Rebecca Heath, Lainie Anderson and more. I’ve appeared at the Brisbane Writers Festival and Bad Sydney Crime Writers Festival 2023.

I want to thank everyone who’s invited and hosted me, particularly libraries and the booksellers who’ve participated. THANK YOU!
